Example with parameters and some parameter transfer

Here you see a function that 'generates' numbers; also a table, complete with values of numbers, in relation to two declared numbers (via parameter transfer).

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>......</TITLE>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT>
function displayNx (number, factor)
{
 window.document.open()
 window.document.writeln("<TABLE BORDER=2>"); 
 for (var i=1; i<number; i++) 
   {
   window.document.writeln
   ("<TR><TD>",i,",factor," = </TD><TD>",factor*i,"</TD></TR>") 
   }
 window.document.writeln("</TABLE>"); 
 window.document.close()
}
</SCRIPT>

<BODY>
yyyy<BR> <-- html

<CENTER> <-- html
xxxx<BR> <-- html
xxxx<BR>
xxxx<BR>
<SCRIPT>
displayNx (15, 25)
</SCRIPT>
xxxx<BR>
xxxx<BR> <-- html
xxxx<BR> <-- html
</CENTER> <-- html

yyyy<BR> <-- html

</BODY>
</HTML>

Results:

yyyy
xxxx
xxxx
xxxx
start generated and intelligent output
end generated and intelligent output
xxxx
xxxx
xxxx
yyyy

Comments:

You see that if 15 is programmed as factor (=15), and if 25 is programmed as number (=25), the table produces 14 rows of calculations.

Remarks:

Remark 1: How you can produce 15 rows of calculations?

Remark 2: In normal scripts 'writeln' is seldom used. Programmers prefer fields for output.
